After Impeachment: Our New Narrative
|
[American Thinker] - I don’t know about you, but I’d say that Speaker Lucy’s got some ’splainin’ to do. Hey, Lucy -- Nancy, that is -- what exactly is the point of staging an impeachment when the other party actually has a majority in the Senate? Hello? Anybody there?
Actually, I think the rot started way back on the night of November 8, 2016, when Hillary Clinton didn’t concede the election.
See, if I were the dark Sorotic force behind the Democratic Party I would have gotten the leaders together in a room on November 9 and then called up Hillary Clinton to tell her to get her nose out of the Chardonnay and concede the election right now -- or we take another look at the emails, know-what-I-mean.
That’s because I believe that the one thing "our democracy" needs to do is have proper alternation of the parties in power. That means that the losing presidential candidate gets up on election night and concedes the election and says we are all Americans and wait until next time.
...We Americans need a New Narrative, and right now I am pushing Curtis Yarvin’s notion that America is three social layers: Gentry, Commoners, and Clients.
The thing about Gentry is that they expect us to maintain their dignity in high-status careers. In Jane Austen novels the Gentry maintained their dignity with their income from land and the Funds. And as rectors and vicars in the state church. Today the Gentry is educated and expects professorships, lifetime gigs in the State Department and the "intelligence community," and, for recreation, ordering the Commoners around.
Whatabout Commoners? In Charles Dickens novels they abounded. In David Copperfield they included the Peggottys, Mr. Micawber, Uriah Heep, getting by as best they can. Today, of course, Commoners are Trump voters, bossed around by the modern Gentry and reviled as deplorables and racist-sexist-homophobes and fed up with it.
Clients used to be serfs and then landless laborers and then the workers. Today they are the Little Darlings of the ruling class and the Gentry.
The world is changing. It used to be the old three-class system of landowners and capitalists, the middle class, and the workers. Now it’s educated Gentry, Commoners, and Clients. Gentry used to be the middle class; Commoners used to be the workers.
...On this Narrative, the Commoners are just starting to achieve strategic concentration, and so, all of a sudden, politicians like Donald Trump in the US and Nigel Farage in the UK have emerged to give the Commoners a voice.
And the Gentry don’t like it.
Guess what. If the Gentry had conceded the election in 2016 then Trump would just have been an ordinary president doing a bit of deregulation and tariff manipulation. But because they fought him for three years he has now won what the strategerists call a "decisive victory" that will echo down the years.
Hey Nance and Hillary! Nice going, ladies! We couldn’t have done it without you!
